‘What do you think?’ asked SL, nodding over to the queue of people showing the security guard their passes.

It was unclear whether she was referring to their ridiculous black goth-like outfits, or the idiotic antics of the guard who had abandoned his role of checking IDs for showing off pictures of his grandchildren on his iPhone.

It was neither. SL wanted my opinion of her new boyfriend. Tall, dark and handsome he was a very good looking man, but what a pity that he was a smoker.
